Looking at the back of Allen's departure, Duke rushed to the castle's study as soon as possible, wanting to learn everything about the invasion of evil creatures in detail from the city's history. After all, thousands of years ago, a great Chinese military strategist said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. If you don't even imitate and learn, then Stormfort will be breached, and Duke will die unjustly.

As a shield against the invasion of evil creatures, Duke easily found the information he was looking for.

The Ice Demon is the main class of each evil creature invasion, which is equivalent to the warrior in the evil creature. They possess great strength and speed, wear armor made of ice, wield sharp swords condensed with ice crystals, and have swordsmanship equivalent to that of a mid-level human swordsman. On the whole, it is no less than the overall strength of human high-level swordsmen.

And generally accompanied by the attack of the ice demons, there are also evil necromancers, who can resurrect the humans killed by the ice demons and become so-called ghouls to join their camp and counterattack the humans together. Therefore, every time the ice demon attacks, there will be a situation where the enemy fights more and more, and his own people fight less and less.

The best way to break the ice demon and undead magic is the Holy See Priesthood, but the Holy See Priest and the three major knights are the foundation of the Holy See's rule over the entire continent, and they will not let the precious magicians consume on the battlefield unless it is very dangerous.

In addition to decapitating and piercing the heart, there are two other weapons that can easily kill them. One is the enchanted sword, an enchanted sword that has been blessed with holy light by the Holy See, which can directly pierce through the ice armor of the ice demons and destroy the magic power of their bodies.

The other is obsidian, a black crystal brought out by volcanic eruptions, which has natural fire energy. However, obsidian is very rare in this world, and obsidian has properties similar to glass, so it cannot be used as a weapon alone to achieve sufficient length and flexibility.

As an additive integrated into other weapons, obsidian has a melting point of up to 1700 degrees, which is almost an insoluble situation under the scientific productivity of this world. In Duke's memory, only Long Yan can fuse obsidian with weapons, so obsidian is often called dragon crystal.

If you want to find a dragon to help you fuse weapons, this is no less difficult than making a blast furnace smelting of modern science by yourself, and maybe the latter is a little easier.

However, Duke still found a key point in the data, that is, the Ice Devil's attack is not certain. The reason is simple, there are not many such powerful magical creatures, and their reproductive process is not capable of reproducing both sexes. The breeding of the Ice Demon is more like a sacrifice, by obtaining babies from humans or other humanoid races, and performing magical sacrifice rituals to transform into Ice Demons.

Therefore, if they don't get enough babies and lose more than they gain, then they are likely to choose to give up and wait for the next colder winter to arrive.

Now Duke's biggest advantage is that although the Ice Devil has begun to assemble, it is still more than a month away from the coldest time of winter, and judging from the current climate, this year's winter is not too cold, and the Ice Devil's attack is not absolute.

Of course, this does not mean that Duke will pin his hopes on the unknown weather, although his dream is to eat and die, but the premise is to be able to eat, not simply wait for death!

The priesthood can't count on it, and the emperor just lets him show his talents, and he can't give any help, so he can only rely on himself. Fight, I have to fight!

"There has never been a savior, and it does not depend on the immortal emperor! To create the happiness of mankind, it is all up to us!"

"What are you talking about, my lord?"

Allen's voice suddenly came, startling Duke, who was singing "The Internationale" to cheer himself up.

"Didn't say anything, by the way, have the inhabitants of the territory been gathered?"

"Yes, the inhabitants of the territory, the City Lord's Guard, and all the members of the Frontier Knights, have gathered in Campo de' Fiori, waiting for your speech. ”

"Well, let's go out then. ”

Duke pretended to be calm and straightened his clothes, and then prepared to go to Flower Square with Alan. However, when he walked out of the study, he saw a long sword hanging on the wall, and after a moment's hesitation, he took the long sword off and hung it on himself.

To put it bluntly, the speech is to infect the audience and resonate with them through words, gestures, actions, and external images. Don't underestimate the ability of the mouth cannon, didn't a certain mustache in Germany start with a mouth cannon back then, and almost overturned the whole world?

On the Flower Square, the inhabitants of the territory stained with black oppression were several times more than the people who had witnessed the Inquisition before. At the same time, the three hundred soldiers of the City Lord's Guard, the two hundred border guards of the Storm Fortress and their 1,000 auxiliary retinues also stood in a neat formation in the center of the square.

In addition to these storm castle weapons, it was the fifty members of the Royal Knights brought by Princess Jina, who directly punched out the royal badge and stood in a corner of the square. It seems that Princess Gina finally listened to Duke's advice and did not think of using her status as a princess to dominate the scene.

In other words, the armed forces of the entire Storm Castle are 1,550 people, which is nothing for the ancient Chinese kind of tens of thousands of people fighting in groups, but in the Middle Ages, for a small lord, it was definitely a very exaggerated armed force.

With Duke appearing, tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Storm Castle bowed to him and said, "Lord Lord!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people are definitely a very spectacular scene, and Duke, who was just an ordinary person in his previous life, was a little fluttering in his heart in the face of this kind of shouting. It's no wonder that so many people aspire to the power of the seeker, and the sound of this shouting alone is enough to make people feel intoxicated.

Gina looked at Duke from a distance, there was a hint of surprise in her contemptuous eyes, she didn't expect that this straw bag was not just talking, but really appeared in the Flower Square, taking on the responsibility of the lord to make a speech.

You must know that Duke is a well-known waste in the nobility circle of the capital, especially compared to his brothers. His eldest brother, Count Baker, obtained the title of senior swordsman at the age of sixteen, graduated from the Imperial Martial Arts Academy at the age of eighteen and joined the army as the first place, participated in three major battles in two years, became the Lord of Silver Moon City at the age of twenty, and was crowned a paladin of the Holy See, which can be said to be the idol of the youth of the Empire.

The second brother Tok is a little worse, but he is also a high-level swordsman of the Empire, and he is currently the lord of Maple Leaf City in the Duchy of Berry.

Just this Duke, even the Imperial Martial Arts Academy can't be admitted, with the superior conditions of Duke Otto, it is said that even the intermediate swordsman exam is to reduce the difficulty and go through the relationship, let alone cultivate fighting qi or something.

Hmph, if only he would find a crack in the ground and get into it, and make a speech with a face. Thinking of Duke's sarcasm about herself before, the more she looked at it, the more she felt itchy teeth!
